What’s New on the Horizon?

Coming January 2024 – Blood Kiss, a Fallen From Grace Novel

When Sapphire finds herself abducted from the safety of her home under the cover of darkness, she braces herself for a fate worse than death. What she awoke to was a nightmare so bizarre, the prospect of becoming a plaything for the rich and powerful paled in comparison to the terrors that awaited her at the hands of Raven Black, the enigmatic vampire coven master who is determined to possess her – mind, body, and soul.

In a world where darkness and decadence reign, Raven offers refuge to those fallen from grace – the vampires which the kindred society had excommunicated from their ranks. Within the confines of his malevolent realm, Sapphire’s very existence teeters on the brink of a cruel abyss.

As she navigates her new reality, she finds herself in a battle for her soul. Despite Raven’s cold and brutal ways, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him, her desires entangled with a vampire whose allure defies all logic. As she slips further into Raven’s world, she finds becoming his captive plaything is merely the tip of the iceberg in his sinister plans. With every day she finds herself stepping deeper into the darkness, uncovering more secrets, more desires, and more horrors in the shadows.

Would she continue to hold out hope that someone would rescue her? Or would she finally surrender to the desire eating away at her resolve, giving in to the sliver of love that she finds blooming within her heart?

“You will find I can be cruel when the situation calls for it, but loving as well. The other members of this family are not so kind…” – Raven Black, from Blood Kiss, a Fallen From Grace novel.

Fun fact time! As many know, the vampire known as Stealth from the Before the Sun Rises universe was coined after our beloved The Vampire Don. But did you know that Don also inspired the character of Raven Black? In fact, Raven Black is the polar opposite of the vampire Stealth. When I first created the Raven character, his entire demeanor was based off of a single line from The Vampire Don Henrie during the filming of Mad, Mad House. Specifically, and I’m loosely quoting, when he said “I can be cruel, but I can be loving, too.”

(Disclaimer: it’s been 20 years since the show aired and I can’t find the exact quote, so I’m going purely off of what I remember him saying)

That line struck a chord with me, and was the basis for creating these two dynamic, polar opposite characters – Raven Black, the one who was cruel, egotistical, and violent, and the vampire Stealth who was the loving, honorable, noble vampire who never lost his humanity or his love for this world and the people in it he was entrusted to keep safe.

Whether it’s the one you love, or the one you love to hate, I’ve been truly blessed to have been able to bring these two characters to life over the past fifteen years. I’m sure these two have many more adventures ahead of them. In the meantime, catch up on all the supernatural drama that has happened inside the Before the Sun Rises universe, and keep an eye out for Blood Kiss, a Fallen From Grace novel, releasing early 2024.

Did you know?

If you were one of the lucky ones to read “The Devil’s Slave” before it was unpublished, you’ll no doubt know why this has been one of my readers’ favorite stories. But did you know the MC from that story, Raven Black, is the same Raven Black that showed up about half way through Blood Rising, a Fallen From Grace novel? And if you always wished there was more to Raven and Sapphire’s story, then your wish is being granted! Blood Kiss, a Fallen From Grace novel, is the completely remastered and extended full length novel. Blood Kiss is scheduled to release early 2024.
